How do you push a tag to a remote repository using Git?

To push a single tag:

git push origin <tag_name>

And the following command should push all tags (not recommended):

# not recommended
git push --tags

---

git push --follow-tags

This is a sane option introduced in Git 1.8.3:

git push --follow-tags

It pushes both commits and only tags that are both:

annotated

reachable (an ancestor) from the pushed commits

This is sane because:

you should only push annotated tags to the remote, and keep lightweight tags for local development to avoid tag clashes. See also: What is the difference between an annotated and unannotated tag?

it won't push annotated tags on unrelated branches

It is for those reasons that --tags should be avoided.

Git 2.4 has added the push.followTags option to turn that flag on by default which you can set with:

git config --global push.followTags true

or by adding followTags = true to the [push] section of your ~/.gitconfig file.

---

To push specific, one tag do following git push origin tag_name

---

To expand on Trevor's answer, you can push a single tag or all of your tags at once.

Push a Single Tag

git push <remote> <tag>

This is a summary of the relevant documentation that explains this (some command options omitted for brevity):

git push [[ […]] ... The format of a parameter is…the source ref , followed by a colon :, followed by the destination ref … The tells which ref on the remote side is updated with this push…If : is omitted, the same ref as will be updated… tag means the same as refs/tags/:refs/tags/.

Push All of Your Tags at Once

git push --tags <remote>
# Or
git push <remote> --tags

Here is a summary of the relevant documentation (some command options omitted for brevity):

git push [--all | --mirror | --tags] [ […]] --tags All refs under refs/tags are pushed, in addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command line.

---

You can push all local tags by simply git push --tags command.

$ git tag                         # see tag lists
$ git push origin <tag-name>      # push a single tag
$ git push --tags                 # push all local tags 

---

Tags are not sent to the remote repository by the git push command. We need to explicitly send these tags to the remote server by using the following command:

git push origin <tagname>

We can push all the tags at once by using the below command:

git push origin --tags

Here are some resources for complete details on git tagging:

---

You can push the tags like this git push --tags

---

Add a tag in your current branch

git tag tag_name

Check if it's created or not

git tag

Push in your remote origin

git push origin tag_name

---

How can I push my tag to the remote repository so that all client computers can see it?

Run this to push mytag to your git origin (eg: GitHub or GitLab)

git push origin refs/tags/mytag

It's better to use the full "refspec" as shown above (literally refs/tags/mytag) just in-case mytag is actually v1.0.0 and is ambiguous (eg: because there's a branch also named v1.0.0).

---

I am using git push <remote-name> tag <tag-name> to ensure that I am pushing a tag. I use it like: git push origin tag v1.0.1. This pattern is based upon the documentation (man git-push):

OPTIONS
   ...
   <refspec>...
       ...
       tag <tag> means the same as refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>.

---

I did something like this :

git push --tags origin <branch-name> <tag-name>

e.g. : git push --tags origin master v2.0
